Oct 7, 2008 Objectively speaking:
An unexpected absolutely authentic, kick-ass even cask-conditioned ESB. Spot-on and by far THE one beer I recommend trying at this pub. It begs for a pint.
I like:
Tasty all around. Fully nuanced. Earthy, fruity (think apricot, peaches and the likes), but not overly juicy palate since a great toasty background keeps everything in check. It never tastes like 5.6% and drinks easily despite its medium or even full body. Very toasty and bready.
I dislike:
I should have known ahead that this was the house specialty.

Nov 8, 2006 The pint glass was filled with a hazy light chestnut ale capped by a short-lived head. The aroma is a rich malt with apples and a mild earthiness. The fruity malt sweetness is a good support for the herbal earthy bitterness of the hops that take over the flavor and last long into the finish. Pretty nice. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp? Ripple Brew Pub, Indianapolis, IN<font size=-1>

Aug 17, 2003 At Indiana BG Fest: Dark amber hue with little head or lace. Roasted malt, fresh hops, grape and cherry aroma with a hint of pine. Crisp bite mellows nicely into a smooth tasting ale. Not bitter as expected. Dry acidic finish. Thin-bodied with a lively and slightly buttery mouthfeel. Good ESB but could have used a little more malt and custer hops and then I would have loved it.

Feb 1, 2004 This draft sample poured a minimal head of clear fully diminished bubbles. The body was transparent softly carbonated and light brown in color. It had a mild bitter hoppy aroma and a mild flat mouth feel with a lingering bitter finish. The flavor was mildly hoppy and bitter.
